Frame It! Christmas

With me being SUPER BUSY with our new Marci and Luka line of stamps at La-La Land Crafts, it is harder and harder for me to find time to teach classes. But I LOVE teaching classes SO MUCH as I get to spend time and share my ideas with people who are as crazy about paper crafts as me!!!

If you haven't heard yet, I am now going to have monthly Workshops!! I will still teach some classes, but not as many as I used to...

In each Workshop we will work on different projects depending on the time of the year. Since it is time to start working on Holiday projects, in my first Workshop we will be making everything Christmas!! Cards, card holders, gift card holders, tags, various 3D projects, etc..

Christmas Workshop will be held in the large scrapbook room owned by Scrapbook Island in San Jose, CA on Sunday, November 14th. The room is not connected to the store, and is very private!! We will be there all day, from 10 am to 6 pm!! That is a whole 8 hours of lots of FUN!!! Snacks, drinks and lunch will be provided.

This Workshop is by invitation ONLY!! If you have not received an email with information about the Workshops from me and would like to attend, please send me your email address and I will email you an Evite invitation.

At each workshop we will work as a group first on one of the larger projects and then we will split into the groups to work on other projects at different work stations. The two cards that I have for you today, are for one of the stations, "Frame It!". I will share the samples of the projects for this Workshop as soon as I make them :-)

I made this type of cards before and just LOVE this style. I used two different Martha Stewart "punch around the corner" punches. Frame on both cards embossed with Cuttlebug embossing folder. Images and sentiments on both cards stamped with Distressed Inks and heat embossed with Clear embossing powder. Sentiments on both cards are from Hero Arts.

This card measures 5 1/4" x 5 1/4".

Winter Scene stamp on the card above is the same stamp that I used on the card HERE. Instead of using the entire stamp, this time I only stamped the parts of it for both front and inside of the card. This stamp by Stampendous called Forest Cottage Scene.

This card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2".

Santa stamp on the card above is by Stamps Happen, it's called Jolly Santa. Snowflakes inside of the card are from the same clear stamp set as the sentiment.

Please email me if you would like to join the Worksop and if you have ANY questions :-)
